Shifting to 5th edition would work in your favour. "Erased" is listed under matrix searches, and has a threshold / interval.

And as I mentioned in your other thread, SINner now has multiple levels, the highest of which is Corporate SIN, which your buddy would have with his background. The penalties implied are not pretty.

Yes, vagueness in rules is always an invitation to cheese monkeys to try to treat such things as a permenent magical unbreakable advantage.

Well thanks to everyone for your advices, I talked to the player today and we agreed that we would kill off his character and he would make a more "appropiate" for this campaign and he was gonna save it for a future game. More or less the same Spaceman who throw rotten fruit to gangers without the backstory and SIN.

And thats how rule lawyers get earn their bread

I don't know. With this brother plot two possibilities occurred to me:

1) Have something crop up in play that at least implies (if not strongly suggests) that finding the brother is not a good idea - a budding intra-familial conflict;
or
2) The brother doesn't want to be found by the PC specifically.

Nothing so mundane as legbreakers paying the PC a professional house call - more like a veiled warning from a free spirit (some examples in Spy Games, of all books)

Glad you've got it sorted, it does sound like he was being a bit of an ass, but then the best of us can do that without realising and with the best of intentions sometimes. This is exactly why talking to each other openly and honestly is a good way of solving a problem and everyone ending happy.
